Just to give everyone the big picture...Thanks to Tropical Storm Debbie I had to drain about 8" of water out of my pool in the past week. That really messed with my Salt and CYA levels. Salt is currently 2600, CYA is 30. Also, my SWG was complaining about low salt levels. I'm out of salt and CYA supplies and can't get to the store until this coming weekend, so I turned off the SWG and have been chlorinating my pool with LC for the past few days. Since I started using LC I've been using my FAS-DPD test to track my chlorination level daily. Yesterday near sunset I tested the water and FC was 3.5, CC was 0. I added 56 oz of 10% LC to bring the level up to 8. I rechecked the FC level about an hour later after dark and it was a solid 8. Sunrise this moring was at 6:32am, and I rechecked my FC around 6:45am this morning. The sun wasn't above the trees yet, but it wasn't dark either. My FC was 6.5, a 1.5ppm loss from last night. There is no algae visible in the pool, CC is 0, and the water is clear. Do I need to SLAM my pool?
Should I be concerned about this OCLT result?
